Fiji's energy mix and electricity

🇫🇯 In 2024, Fiji generated 1.15 TWh of electricity. The largest source was hydro at 52%, followed by oil and other fossil fuels (37%) and bioenergy (10%). In total, 64% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 37% from fossil fuels.

On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 278 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), below the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Fiji the 57th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.

Electricity demand was 1.15 TWh. Its electricity imports and exports were roughly in balance.

Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 53%, from 0.75 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 72% to 63%. The biggest rise was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 28% to 37% of generation. The biggest fall was in bioenergy, from 17% to 10%. Carbon intensity rose from 240 to 278 grams per kWh.

Energy security score

75out of 100

Strong. Fiji ranks 41st of 158 countries and 3rd of 6 in Oceania. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.

Measure	Score
Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Fiji, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more.	n/a
Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, hydro, made 52%.	66
Little reliance on imported power Fiji exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks.	100
Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 64% of generation.	64
Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 37% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share.	64

The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
